The dropper makes it easy to control the amount - I used 4 drops in the evening and 2-3 drops in the morning. My skin looks hydrated, and I'm thrilled that the deep dryness is gone. Especially in the morning, using 2-3 drops before applying base makeup gives me that coveted Inner Glow look. It's not too oily, more like a middle ground between an oil and an essence? I think people new to oils would find this easy to use without any hesitation.
ConsIt claims to help with dead skin cells, which made me wonder, 'How does it actually do that?' I was curious about how it would remove dead skin, but that's not quite it. The oil seems to 'calm' the dead skin cells. Because the oil makes the skin smooth, it temporarily masks the appearance of flaky skin around the mouth and chin areas. So it's more of a temporary smoothing effect rather than actual dead skin cell care. I'd suggest continuing with your regular exfoliation routine, but this oil would be great to use when your skin feels dry and rough.
TipSince it's an oil, using too much might make it sit on top of your skin, so adjust the amount as needed. For reference, I found 4 drops in the evening and 2-3 drops in the morning as the last step before base makeup worked well for me.

It's the perfect finishing touch for my skin when moisturizer alone isn't enough. You only need a drop or two, so the price is quite reasonable for the amount you get. I love that it's fragrance-free, and the ingredients are gentle - I've never experienced any blemishes from using it. I'm usually quite stingy with my five-star ratings, but this oil works so well for my super sensitive, extremely dry skin that the difference when I use it is night and day. It's fantastic how it leaves my skin feeling deeply nourished and hydrated!
ConsI've been racking my brain trying to think of any downsides, but the only minor quibble I can come up with is that the dropper doesn't go all the way down into the bottle.
TipFor best results, I apply a drop or two to my palms at the final step of my skincare routine, then gently pat and press it onto my face.

This oil I was lucky enough to try really hit the mark - it provided great hydration and suited my sensitive skin perfectly! The texture is just right, not too slippery, and it absorbs surprisingly well. I found that applying a generous layer of moisturizer followed by about 3 drops of this oil, gently patted in, helps maintain hydration for a long time. It's not too heavy for winter use and does a great job of keeping my skin moisturized. The quantity seems sufficient to last through winter and into early spring. Personally, it worked well with my sensitive skin without causing any blemishes. While it may not have a strong calming effect, it seemed to strengthen my skin. I'd recommend this for those who dislike both overly thin and sticky oils - it strikes a perfect balance. It's especially great for people like me with combination dehydrated skin!
ConsWhile there weren't any major downsides, it's worth noting that due to its nature as an oil, even though it's relatively light, it can leave a slightly slick feeling on your palms if you rub it between them to apply. It's less greasy than typical oils, but it's not an ultra-light, quick-absorbing formula. Nevertheless, I appreciated that it still provided that satisfying oil application experience.
TipFor best results, start with your toner and basic skincare routine, then apply an appropriate amount of moisturizer and pat it in to absorb. Follow up with about 3 drops of this oil, allowing it to sink in. This method helps maintain hydration and gives your skin a dewy glow the next day. When you apply makeup, you'll notice that Inner Glow too! You'll understand why people use facial oils and think, 'Ah, so this is why!'

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis review is from The Hwahae Testers after 11 days of use. Application: I felt it didn't fully absorb! When applied before makeup, it caused pilling! It doesn't completely sink into the skin. Scent: Fragrance-free. Moisturizing level: Being an oil, it's quite hydrating. However, it might not be enough for those with very dry skin! Packaging: The plastic case feels a bit flimsy and light!
ConsThis oil might not suit those with combination dehydrated skin. I usually finish my nighttime routine with toner, serum, cream, and oil, but after switching to this oil, I got blemishes on my forehead... I normally have clear skin and rarely get breakouts - maybe once a year if that. I'm not sure what the issue was, but the blemishes persisted for 11 days and only cleared up when I stopped using the oil... You might not be able to see the redness in the photo, but it's there. I don't understand why this happened since it doesn't contain any harmful ingredients! The amount is too small for the price - it seems like you don't get much for what you pay.

It's not sticky 2. Being an oil, it absorbs well 3. It doesn't sit on the skin and absorbs quickly 4. Compared to other oils, it doesn't feel overly rich, making it comfortable to use! After completing my skincare routine, I warm the oil in my hands and apply it to my face. It's hard to describe, but it doesn't leave my skin looking greasy. Instead, it gives my complexion a plump, hydrated appearance with a beautiful glow! The best part is that while other oils can feel heavy on dry winter skin, this one, being plant-based, absorbs quickly and gives a moisturized radiance without feeling burdensome.
ConsWhile there aren't many downsides, here are a couple: 1. It's on the pricier side, which might make repurchasing a bit challenging. 2. I didn't notice any particular effect on blemishes. In fact, I recently had a skin issue and wondered if it might have been caused by this product. Of course, it could just be a coincidence or due to other bodily changes.
TipI usually mix face oils with my moisturizer, but this one is so light that it's great to apply on its own!

The plastic container is incredibly lightweight, which I loved. It absorbs well and quickly. It's not too oily, but feels like it gently coats your skin with hydration. I didn't experience any blemishes.
ConsAfter an hour or two, my skin felt dry and I needed to apply a moisturizer. The price is wickedly high...
TipMake sure to apply a moisturizer.

I decided to try this product because it was said to be hydrating, hoping it would be an item to replenish my skin's moisture! First off, I approve of the ingredients. The good ingredient list made me feel confident using it without worrying about breakouts! The liquid is clear and unscented. My skin had been acting up recently with some blemishes, but since I started using this, it's calmed down a lot! Though that could just be a coincidence...
ConsTexture and feel: I was expecting a light, refreshing oil that would help build my skin barrier, given it was described as a hydrating oil. However, for me, it felt quite heavy. Not in a way that absorbs well into the skin, but more like it just sits heavily on top. It felt like I was applying plain oil. Perhaps because of this, when I tried to apply makeup over it, I experienced pilling.
TipWhile it wasn't a go-to product for me, given its quality ingredients, I think those with dry skin might find it works well as a staple in their routine!

I'm so grateful to have been chosen! I really needed some skincare products, and this is perfect! I wish I had taken a photo of the box though. Anyway, I think this would be great for those with dry skin. I have combination skin, but... you know how some people with dry skin struggle with their base makeup flaking in winter, no matter how good their skincare routine is? Well, this could be a great final step in your skincare routine to prevent that! It's nicely hydrating. I think it's also good for students to use. The ingredients are gentle and it really helps keep your skin hydrated.
ConsMy usual morning and evening routine was Dokdo toner + Cetaphil emulsion + Olivebarrier oil + sunscreen + concealer. Here's what I found: ✔ When used as a base, it actually made my makeup break down faster This might vary from person to person, but before I received this, I was only using toner and emulsion as my base, and my makeup would last about 4 hours. However, when I added this oil... sigh... my base started to feel sticky and eventually my blemishes began to show through. I'd suggest not using this under makeup, but instead applying it as the final step in your nighttime skincare routine after cleansing. This should help you wake up with hydrated skin! ✔ Price The price... while it might be okay for adults, it seems a bit steep for students, which is unfortunate.

First off, I was thrilled with how quickly it absorbed into my skin. As someone with oily skin, I was worried that using an oil might make my skin look even greasier, but it absorbed beautifully without any greasy feeling at all - just pure hydration. The dropper made it super easy to control the amount I used, so I could apply just the right amount. I used it in my routine after toner and before emulsion, and it didn't interfere with the application of my emulsion at all. Even when I put on makeup, despite the dry winter weather, my skin looked prettier than usual!
ConsI was chosen as one of The Hwahae Testers, but when I received the product, I was disappointed by how small the amount was compared to what I expected. It felt like poor value for money. After switching to this oil, I had to change my cleansing foam, and for some reason, my skin completely freaked out. I even started getting closed comedones and blemishes that I never had before! I'll update my review after using it a bit longer to see if things improve.
TipWhile applying the oil on its own was nice, I found that mixing it with my cleansing foam or emulsion worked really well too, without feeling heavy on the skin.

As a man in my early 20s with an outbreak of milia and acne that has severely damaged my skin barrier, many skincare products have been irritating and caused a burning sensation upon application. However, when I tried this product that I fortunately won, it didn't sting at all. The slightly thin, oil-like texture applied smoothly. After using toner, this product, and then a moisturizer, I felt like I slept well with hydrated skin. Also, the packaging and container are really beautiful. I love the luxurious design.
ConsThere are no downsides. I really appreciate that it contains only one ingredient.
TipIt seems you could mix it with your toner, or apply it generously to your face to help with deep dryness.
